[BALUG-Talk] Market research on Gopher

[Bill Ward]

As I recall Gopher wasn't really around very long before we started
seeing the Web replace it.  I never really used it much and don't
remember much about it.  I think of it as basically just being a
listing of FTP sites, and the Yahoo! Directory was its most direct
replacement.
